Common cold virus antibodies accidentally target liver cancer — revealing a surprising natural defense mechanism

A remarkable and unexpected finding: antibodies that people make against common enteroviruses (like rhinoviruses that cause colds) may cross-react with liver cancer cells, providing a measure of natural immune protection against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Saffron compound crocin kills liver cancer cells by disrupting the RNA splicing machinery

Saffron compound crocin kills liver cancer cells by disrupting the RNA splicing machinery Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) — primary liver cancer — is notoriously hard to treat. Researchers looked at crocin, the active compound in saffron, to understand how it fights HCC at the molecular level using time-series gene expression analysis at multiple
